Electives

During PGY-4, residents devote the equivalent of two days per week fulfilling electives from a wide range of rotations including, but not limited to, Sleep Disorders, Pain Medicine, Forensic Psychiatry, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Substance Abuse, and Eating Disorders.

Electives may involve clinical, research, or scholarly work at either Jefferson or another institution. Most residents accomplish their electives in the greater Philadelphia area. Other residents have arranged to complete their electives in other metropolitan areas or states.

Important notes:

  • Both salary and malpractice insurance for residents on away electives are paid by Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
  • No matter the location of electives, all PG-4 residents are required to work half time at a Jefferson outpatient clinic.
  • The following list provides the most commonly chosen electives by Jefferson residents. It is not inclusive:
